Home for the past few years to one of Bristol's finest chefs Stephen Markwick who, although semi retired and open only Thurs lunchtime through to Saturday night, is still serving up sublime dishes of near perfection. Stephen, with front-of-house partner and wife Judy, has deservedly earned an international reputation for his French and Mediterranean inspired dishes even Keith Floyd bows down to. Having stepped back from his eponymous and highly rated establishment in the city centre, he is now weaving his magic in the residential suburbs of Redland in this small, bright, modern bistro/café (too bright for some) where he serves a pared-down menu of bistro dishes - great value fixed-course lunches - and evening meals like brill baked in cider with tomato, thyme & mustard or ballantine of guinea fowl. The Provencal fish soup is to die for. You can also take a taste of Markwick home from the excellent Food for Home counter.
